The 5 Ts
01 / 05Trust
Trust is the foundation. Everything else is built on it.
Learn to build trust on purpose — and lead a team that does its best work.Give your leaders a shared, deliberate way to build trust across the team.
The problem
Trust is the multiplier — or the bottleneck.
When trust is high, teams move fast, share risk, and do their best work. When it's low, everything slows — information stops flowing, people protect themselves, and performance quietly stalls. Most leaders leave trust to chance. Great ones build it on purpose.
What you’ll master
Leave able to do these — not just talk about them.
- Read the Trust Battery — know exactly where trust stands with each person you lead.
- Charge and recharge trust deliberately, through the commitments you keep.
- Build the psychological safety that lets people take risks and tell the truth.
- Find the performance sweet spot — between micromanagement and absentee leadership.
The framework
The Trust Battery
Trust isn't a feeling — it's a charge. Every relationship runs a Trust Battery somewhere between full and empty. Your job as a leader is to know the reading and keep it charged.
- Every commitment you fulfil is a deposit that charges the battery.
- Every missed commit — or failure to share risk — is a drain.
- The reading tells you where to act, before performance suffers.

MembersTrust Battery assessment
Members score the trust on their team across six dimensions, and leave with a clear read on what's charging the battery — and what's draining it.
